How about this?

Don:
How is this for your headline of the Post poll:
Who is the dumbass now? Buck 50% – Norton 41%.

With all the attention switching to the Dem side Norton has absolutely no chance to win.

A lot of people have already voted so if these numbers are right, and they are basically the same numbers Magellan had earlier last week, Norton would have to pick up about 20 points in 9 days.

Can you imagine a tougher job than trying to raise money for Norton right now? Give us money because . . . we won’t be around in 9 days and sure you can call me at home in January because I won’t be in DC to help you.

Perhaps Josh will float another unnamed poll showing Norton ahead. But even you, Don, would not believe that? Would you? I think the Norton camp has lied to and burned about everybody they know by now. How do you think they feel over at the fix?

Expect Norton to get out spent about 2:1 in the next week and lose 56-44%.

Don, if you believe the unnamed poll you need to get with reality. When the polling agent isn’t named it’s because there is impropriety in the nature of how the poll was conducted. Come on man, open your eyes. This poll and it’s crosstabs weren’t published because it was Jane’s push poll.

A poll like that is total garbage and for you to claim you believe it simply tips your hand to the fact that you’ve bought into Jane’s propaganda and support her.

I believe polls that are produced by Rasmussen and several other pollsters when they are the named pollsters.

When the Magellan and Post polls came out, I said and believe they were conducted by reputable firms. When Penry claimed an inside poll showed Norton was gaining, I warned against believing candidates’ polls.

Now, WaPo is citing a poll by an unnamed pollster. The only reason I give it some credence is that Norton is doing better in a general election poll v. Bennet than Buck is. But Buck is doing better against Romanoff than she is. That is in my blog on this story.

Sorry if my balanced reporting upsets the partisans. We all misread sometimes, and the most bias in most news stories is on the part of the reader, not the writer.

I haven’t decided who I will vote for, and I probablly never will tell.

Val:
I think we need to help Don. He clearly has been reading Penry’s Pravda articles way to literally. To borrow an expression from the Post, referring to the Norton spice girl, Don’s diary is a shameless assault on reality.

Tomorrow morning the Denver Post is going to come out with a poll showing Buck in the lead. Don is going to need some help with a headline. Here is my thought:
Prima Donna Jane Norton losing to genuine Ken Buck.
What do you think?

Harry, do you remember when Magellan had Buck up by 9 points, and the Denver Post/9News had him up by 16? Shortly thereafter, Norton came out with a poll (of unknown origin) showing her up by 5 points. Now we have another poll of unknown origin. And Donald thinks that means Ken is losing to high heels and the sex card.

Don, I just wish you’d stop dancing around the periphery. Just come out with your Buck endorsement and be done with it!

Don:
When you drink koolaid with crooks and thieves it doesn’t help your credibility.

The latest Rasmussen poll released this week indicated that Buck’s political incorrectness has not been hurting him. As they put it:
“The survey taken Monday night shows virtually no change in Buck’s support from two weeks ago despite some highly publicized critical comments he made since then about Norton and about Tea Party voters.”

Magellan results this week had Buck up by 9%.

I think the Norton push poll referred to by the fix is right in one respect. I think Norton may get 45% of the vote in the primary. Personally, I think it will be closer to 40%, but she may get 45%.

You fail to realize that the Rasmussen poll was a general election match up, and as such it has little to do with the primary race other than people using it to make arguments for electability – different population samples. You’ve either knowingly or unknowingly fallen for Norton’s push poll (yeah – conducted by a “major Republican firm” which won’t release its name or the specifics of the poll – read between the lines). As I’ve pointed out elsewhere, the sad thing is that Norton can’t even get above 45% in her own push poll. It takes 50% to win, so Rebel is right. Game over.

Dream on… On Aug. 11, 2010 Norton will be a private citizen. Don, it is over.
